IMPnovEMENrm srUMP-BXTRAGTOR.

Be it known that I, 'IRA FLANDE-Ra'of Lafayette, Vanduren' county, Stateof Michigan, have'invented certain new and nseful improvements inMachines for ExtractingStumps, and for raising heavy Weights; and I dohereby4 declare the following to be affull and enact description of thesame, reference being had to the drawings that accompany andf'orma partof 4these specifications,` in which; f

v Figure. I,al perspective view of the machine with stump attached.V

Figure .II shows the manner of Wrapping the stump, and the way of usingthe grab-linken the chain.

. Figure III, the two grab-links--the one made plane, theothercurved-each having a broad, 'oval opening` at one end, and a narrowneck at the other end. Letters A Af the two bed-pieces of jtheframe-work 'of the machine B a beam at top, running across from side toside; thefigs.' 1, 2, 4, 5, and 45V the uprights that sustain sthe beamB.; G the principal lever, as seen in` the drawings; VD a small leverwith which to bring down the short end of the principal lever, Cwhen.'itis desiredto make` fast to the stump; Ethe ,main chain; F a large pin to`sustain the link, h h ,thetwo grab,` links; z' i z' rods withhooks ontheir ends, and, together Vwith the-bolts, j jjylfasten more ,rmly thebed-pieces, A Af, to the standards, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6; k an ordinarytackle-block. i

The object of my invention is to provide a machinethat has morelfacilities for `adapting the leverage to the i resistance to beovercome,and the power that may'beavailable at anytime, as also to afford a moreready way of manipulatingl the chains. I The first I secure by arrangingthe series of l slats en the top of the short arm of the principalVleverfC, and the longitudinal slat, m, in connection with the link, g,and the pin, F, as seen inl Fig. I'. The latter vI obtain by combiningthe principal chain, E, the two grab-links, h ILL-the one hanging in thelink g, as Aseen in Fig. I, the other'arranged and I xsed, as may beseeninFig. The reason for using the links, h h', instead of hooks is,that the chain, E, needs". to be made of very short links 'in order towrap the stump well, and with such archain hooks of' any considerablestrength couldnot well be used.' A glance at Figs. I and II. will showhow readily the slack 4of the chain, E, may be taken up at either endsimplyby moving it into the swell of the links, It, drawing it"tight,'and then let it drop into the Vneck or'narrowpart of the linkagain, whereit will beheld rmiy. -The .manipulations of the other partsof the machine will be apparent from the drawings'. v i n What vI claimas my invention, is A 1. Providing the lever C, with the slot m, and therecesses for the pin, F, in combination with the said pin F, and link g,and lever D, arranged substantially 'as described and for the purposesset forth.

2. I claim the combination of the hooks or bolts, j j j j, (the braces,i z' z' z',with the bed-pieces, A A, tov

.operate as set forth. I
